Next Battlefield Set in the Present

An interview on IGN talks with Vince Zampella about the next Battlefield game, a big reveal that comes before EA's investor day, belying the focus on shareholders that keeps the series going. And some of the conversation does cover sales figures and competing for supremacy with the Call of Duty series. The big reveal is that the game is returning to the current era, after recent forays into the future and both world wars. Here's word on that:
Ahead of its Investor Day on September 17, EA revealed fresh details on its untitled Battlefield game alongside its first officially concept art, which IGN can exclusively reveal for the first time. IGN can also confirm that Battlefield will be returning to a modern setting after stints in World War I, World War II, and the near future.

While EA is cagey about specifics when it comes to the concept art, including declining to name of the city where its set (though it looks a lot like Italy, France, or somewhere else in Europe), it does include details that should stand out to longtime fans of the series. Among other things, it appears to suggest that ship-to-ship and helicopter combat will be part of the new game, and that it will feature natural disasters like wildfires. Its greyish color scheme is evocative of Battlefield 4, which remains one of the most popular games in the series despite being released a decade ago.
